I found a tutorial for a gift box using a 12 x 12 sheet of paper and went to town! I used paper from Recollections to which I rolled on ink using a Stampin' Up roller stamp. I like the look it gave the paper... A little more masculine I think. I used my Cricut and Campin' Critters to cut out that sweet duck and George and Shapes to cut out the hearts at various sizes. I used my Cuttlebug to distress the hearts somewhat. I found some twine to use to hold the box closed. It will slip right off when it is time for the goodies inside. I also used some rub on words that I have had forever. I placed "Buddy" on the front as that is my hubby's nickname. The washi tape on the front of the lid was from the $1 spot at Walmart. I added a piece of leftover paper from another project to the bottom of the front. All of the pieces were inked with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink. The little paper on top was done from a piece of file folder that I cut using my Bags, Tags and More cartridge.
I hope he likes it!
Here are a few closer looks at the box...
